Subject: [net-next v4] tcp: add support for SO_PEEK_OFF socket option
From: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@...hat.com>
When reading received messages from a socket with MSG_PEEK, we may want
to read the contents with an offset, like we can do with pread/preadv()
when reading files. Currently, it is not possible to do that.
In this commit, we add support for the SO_PEEK_OFF socket option for TCP,
in a similar way it is done for Unix Domain sockets.
In the iperf3 log examples shown below, we can observe a throughput
improvement of 15-20 % in the direction host->namespace when using the
protocol splicer 'pasta' (https://passt.top).
This is a consistent result.
pasta(1) and passt(1) implement user-mode networking for network
namespaces (containers) and virtual machines by means of a translation
layer between Layer-2 network interface and native Layer-4 sockets
(TCP, UDP, ICMP/ICMPv6 echo).
Received, pending TCP data to the container/guest is kept in kernel
buffers until acknowledged, so the tool routinely needs to fetch new
data from socket, skipping data that was already sent.
At the moment this is implemented using a dummy buffer passed to
recvmsg(). With this change, we don't need a dummy buffer and the
related buffer copy (copy_to_user()) anymore.
passt and pasta are supported in KubeVirt and libvirt/qemu.

SO_PEEK_OFF not supported by kernel.

The perf record confirms this result. Below, we can observe that the
CPU spends significantly less time in the function ____sys_recvmsg()
when we have offset support.
Without offset support:
----------------------
jmaloy@...yr:~/passt$ perf report -q --symbol-filter=do_syscall_64 \
-p ____sys_recvmsg -x --stdio -i perf.data | head -1
46.32% 0.00% passt.avx2 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_syscall_64 ____sys_recvmsg
With offset support:
----------------------
jmaloy@...yr:~/passt$ perf report -q --symbol-filter=do_syscall_64 \
-p ____sys_recvmsg -x --stdio -i perf.data | head -1
28.12% 0.00% passt.avx2 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_syscall_64 ____sys_recvmsg
